Dropbox sync not working

Question

dropbox

Maybe one of the habravchans came across. I made history synchronization as in this article: http://habrahabr.ru/blogs/personal/89864/ . Only I have qutIM and the whole folder is saved in the dropbox. But everything works, I'm happy.

But dropbox does not want to save the changes to itself. For the sake of verification, I created a file in the folder that is being synchronized. I opened the dropbox folder - the file was added, everything seems to be fine. But for additional verification, I opened the dropbox site and checked if the file appeared there. And he wasn't there.

Empirically, I realized that if you disable and re-enable the dropbox, then the synchronization is successful. But I won’t restart the dropbox before every shutdown of the computer to save the history, right?

Habr, help! What to do? Or at least where to dig?

Answer 1

I remember such garbage was in one of the old versions. I even wrote a script that restarts dropbox. Then the dropbox was updated many times and the problem disappeared.

Answer 2

Do you have the LAN sync option ? If so, then in this mode, files do not fly to the server right away.
